The Black Sea and New York hoards of forgeries are of a very different style than the coins Cyrrhus and I posted. The series is not a...
Superb! I would expect no less than from the king of Vespasians.
Yes. As with anything, it's important to be market-savvy, and there are plenty of online resources to get an idea of what things are selling for....
I think Sallent is right. It's a bit off-center on the obverse, although not badly so. Half of the coins in the hoard I looked through at NYINC...
Great coin! I love the Roman issues of Sidon.
I was starting to worry about you guys, taking trains home in the middle of the night. Y'all didn't get mugged, did you?

A potentially dangerous purchase for me, knowing so little of Indo-Scythians. Fortunately anoob was there to give me the nod of approval on the...
Spalahores with his son Spalagadames, an Indo-Scythian bilingual ae (Greek and Karosthi), c. 95-65 BC, Kandahar mint. Hercules with club on...
Yes, by all means. Pile on coins of your similar types, everyone!
This is the best part actually. We can buy coins anytime we want on the internet, but there's no substitute for camaraderie with kindred spirits...
They are both faked. But both of the coins I acquired meet all the requirements of authenticity. Style, fabric, and weight are all correct. All...
